A cute story...

Once a upon a time there was a thrifted crochet pillowcase that was in need of a use. So it was turned into a lap top case, lined with an old baby blanket.
 
..and once there was a tired old chair in some need of TLC, and a piece of red polka dot oil cloth in need of a home. So they were paired together and became friends.
 
There was also a very plain old lamp. He was feeling a bit sad and boring, and so he was introduced to a piece of brown floral vintage material, and then he became quite a happy little lamp!
 
And finally, there was a pair of very small feet in our family, and an old blanket ready to be upcylced..so these slippers just had to happen!!
 
 
You might ask why this story is so cute?
 
Its pretty darn cute because I  didn't do ANY of this...and my husband did!! Mr. Coleman is becoming more thriftier and craftier then me!! He is certainly full of surprises, that man!
 
Have a great weekend!
